I was supposed to have an appointment tomorrow which they trying to cancel … I cant allow them to cancel because I need answers … and it’s frustrating they never answer

I try and give the p/doc a good report, its hard though to find the good in things sometimes though

I rarely see the same pdoc twice and he discharged me on new antidepressants and said see you in six months … two days later I was psychotic

I told them i wanted to cut my meds in July hoping they’d help me but they discharged me and then i had to talk to my gp about it, i went a bit crazy in Oct and was hospitalised for a while :frowning:

You don’t have dementia @anon80629714
You suffered a psychotic break triggered by antidepressants.

This has happened to me before a couple of times.

Yes but the med was out of my system and they waited and it lasted two months from there on once I started antipsychotics … so it’s definitely related to illness

Yes it’s related to illness but the antidepressant triggered you to become psychotic.

There was a small flame inside of you and the antidepressant was like gasoline and it ignited into a raging fire.

It is good to keep active though so i would suggest trying to keep up with things that you enjoy (or try to) whether that be, exercise, volunteering or a hobby, its good to focus on good things to take your mind a way from the bad things.

@Wave you suffered a psychotic break just from taking antidepressants?

Well the antidepressant and antidepressant type APs triggered a manic response which in turn triggered psychosis.
My current diagnosis is bipolar disorder @anon80490300
